As you navigated your way through the first month of 2012, were there any changes made in the way you view things, in your expectations, in your strategy to make it closer to your goals? If not, what will make 2012 any different from previous years? Make sure you don't set yourself up for failure; that is, don't just keep hoping things will get better and doing things the way you've always done them. Some changes will require uncomfortable adjustments that you will need to make. Some will require gaining more knowledge in a certain subject area. Other changes will require becoming accountable to someone, a group, or an organization. And still others will require stepping out of the comfort zone that has become your safe haven.
How bad do you want to see things change? How bad do you want to accomplish those goals? How bad do you want to gain ground and get closer to the goal, the vision, the dream, and/or the destiny that God has for you?
Ask God for the wisdom you need to begin making the changes, embracing the process, and finding joy on the journey. He knows the purpose for which you were created. He knows what it takes to for you to get there and He has an individualized plan already prepared just for you. As you seek His face and the relationship you have with Him becomes even stronger, then wisdom, guidance, direction, and insight will begin to spring forth from within. You will find yourself in the middle of His will for your life.
Yes, we can expect great things. We can confess that we are going to achieve great things. But until we posture ourselves before Him, allowing Him to take His rightful place in our lives, we will never realize the full benefit of that great plan that God has for our lives. Let's throw away our preconceived notions and allow the Father to take our hand and lead us into that destiny that He has prepared for us. And let's enjoy the journey as we embrace change.
